Author: Kristof. Prætorius; Ukjendt Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Andre Pinsedag Til Høimesse -Til Sekund Tekstrækkes Evangelium Lyrics: 1 Kristus, Sjælens sande Lys, Jakobs klare Stjerne, Du i Sorgens mørke Hus Lyser op saa gjerne; Din den store Miskundhed Er jo ny hver Morgen, Du mig giver Lys og Fred, Du fordriver Sorgen. 2 Væk mig op af Syndens Blund, Du, som selv er Livet, Ak, opliv mig allenstund, Du, som haver givet Verden denne Sol saa klar, Som os alle fryder! Jeg og Lyset fra dig faar, Det kun du udgyder. 3 Lys ved Lys kun sees kan, Uden din Oplysning Kjendes ei du, Gud og Mand! Uden Undervisning Om dig fra din egen Aand Maa jeg gaa i Mørke; Thi tag du mig ved din Haand, Saa kan jeg dig dyrke. 4 Lad mig se dit Aasyn mild Venlig til mig skue, Saa at Kjærlighedens Ild Staar i Lys og Lue, Og din store Kjærlighed Smages i mit Hjerte! Jeg af intet Andet veed; Verden har kun Smerte. 5 O, lad være langt fra mig Hovmod, Kjødets Glæde, Lad ei Verden med sin Svig I min Sjæl faa Sæde! Thi dens Lyst og al den Ting, Som af Verden prises, Giver dog kun Mordersting, Det tilsidst vil vises. 6 Bliv da, Jesus, du min Ro, Jesus, du min Ære! Hos dig længes jeg at bo Og din Gjæst at være. Ak, hvor vil jeg favne dig! Ak, hvor vil jeg springe! Ak, hvor vil jeg frydelig Lade Røsten klinge!

Vor Brudgom op er standen Og kommer med en Fart, Op, vaager med hinanden, Nu erdet Midnat snart! 2 Hver gjøre Lampen færdig, At I kan rede staa Og vorde agtet værdig, Med Brudgommen at gaa; Thi Zions Vægtre raabe: Vor Brudgom nu er nær, O, møder ham tilhobe I Troens Frydefærd! 3 I Jomfruer, saa mange, Som ere ved Forstand, O kommer, ud at gange Imod vor Frelsermand! Ser Himlens aabne Porte Og Brylluppet bered! Han ikke langt er borte, Som hedder Zions Fred! 4 Ser op, gaar ham imøde, Han er, nu er han her! Ser Træets Topper gløde, Saa er vor sommer nær! Ser, hvor saa klart frembryder Den røde Aftensky, Som os den Dag betyder, Naar al vor Nat maa fly! 5 Bort derfor, Søvnens Taage! Hvo vaager, han er vis. Enhver, som ei vil vaage, Skal føle Vredens Ris, Fordærvelse og Plage; Thi alle Vredens kar For evig da skal smage Den Helvedpine svar. 6 Men møder ham, I Fromme, Med Fryd og Glædes Lyd! Vor Sorrigs Tid er omme, Til Klagen Afsked byd! O, ser dog Frydestunden, Som bærer Kronen from, Nu er den snart oprunden, Nu hentes Bruden hjem! 7 I, som med Jesus lider I denne Grædedal, Skal efter Sorgens Tider Faa Fryd i Himlens Sal, Med ham I skal regjere,– Hvo kan vel det forstaa?– Og evig triumfere Med Ærens Krone paa. 8 O Jesus, lad det komme Dog snart dertil engang, At alle dine Fromme Maa mode dig med Sang! Gjør, Jesus, snart en Ende Paa dines haarde Strid, Og lad min Lampe brænde Til min Forløsningstid!

Forsøm dog ei din Salighed

Boye Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Andre Pinsedag Til Aftengudstjeneste - Til Sekund Tekstrækkes Epistel Lyrics: 1 Forsøm dog ei din Salighed, Den store Høitids Hvile: Vær altid ædru, vaag og bed, Og Gud til dig skal smile Og aabne dig sin Naadefavn; Derfor udøs din Klage For ham i Jesu Kristi Navn, Det kan ham vel behage. 2 Bed tidt og smag, hvor sødt det er, naar Bøn og Trøsten mødes! Bed tidt og søl, hvor Lidelser Bed Guddoms Kraft forsødes! Har Fristelser den Evne havt At mørkne glade Tanker, Gud giver dog den Trætte Kraft; Kast her dit Troes Anker! 3 Bed tidt i Stilhed, hvor du gaar, Klag uden Frygt din Smerte! fra Hjertet slutter han til ord, Og ei fra Ord til Hjerte; Ei bøiet Knæ, ei Taarevand, Ei Ord, ei Sang kan gavne, Men Troens B øn der er, som kan Guds Kjærlighed omfavne. 4 Bed tidt! Gud bor paa hvert et Sted, Der, hvor din Bøn fremføres; Tænk ei, naar Mange bede med, Jeg før af Gud bønhøres! Gud han er Gud, bed, som du bor, Saa vil han dig bønhøre; Den Bøn, som du i Synden gjør, Den kan din Gud ei røre. 5 Forsøm dog ei Guds Menighed, Der skal du Veien lære, Og Gud, som er og bliver ved, Med dine Brødre ære; DinAndagt tænder deres an, Og deres din Antænde, At fælles Lov mod Himlen kan Som fra et Hjerte brænde! 6 Er du en Herre, lok da frem Guds Lov af Dines Munde, Og daglig hellighold med dem De søde Bedestunde! Søg dine Husfolks Salighed, Lad denne Pligt ei rygges! Hver Tjener, end den mindste med, Som Kristen bør opbygges. 7 Og dine Brødre, bed for dem! Vi er eet Legems Lemmer; Din Uven han er og et lem, Hvis Bedste Gud ei glemmer; Bed tidt og strid med Troens Skjøld, Sky ondt og prøv dig nOie, Bliv ei i kjærlig Iver kold, Søg Visdom fra det Høie!

Christian Fürchtegott Gellert

1715 - 1769 Person Name: Chr. Gellert Topics: Andre Pinsedag Til Aftengudstjeneste - Til Sekund Tekstrækkes Epistel Author of "Forsøm dog ei din Salighed" in Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika Gellert, Christian Fürchtegott, son of Christian Gellert, pastor at Hainichen in the Saxon Harz, near Freiberg, was born at Hainichen, July 4, 1715. In 1734 he entered the University of Leipzig as a student of theology, and after completing his course acted for some time as assistant to his father. But then, as now, sermons preached from manuscript were not tolerated in the Lutheran Church, and as his memory was treacherous, he found himself compelled to try some other profession. In 1739 he became domestic tutor to the sons of Herr von Lüttichau, near Dresden, and in 1741 returned to Leipzig to superintend the studies of a nephew at the University. He also resumed his own studies. He graduated M.A. 1744; became in 1745 private tutor or lecturer in the philosophical faculty; and was in 1751 appointed extraordinary professor of philosophy, lecturing on poetry and rhetoric, and then on moral philosophy. An ordinary professorship offered to him in 1761 he refused, as he did not feel strong enough to fulfil its duties, having been delicate from a child, and after 1752 suffering very greatly from hypochondria. He died at Leipzig, Dec. 13, 1769 (Koch, vi. 263-277; Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, viii. 544-549, &c). As a professor, Gellert was most popular, numbering Goethe and Lessing among his pupils, and won from his students extraordinary reverence and affection, due partly to the warm interest he took in their personal conduct and welfare. In his early life he was one of the contributors to the Bremer Beiträge; and was one of the leaders in the revolt against the domination of Gottsched and the writers of the French school. His Fables (1st Ser. 1746; 2nd 1748), by their charm of style, spirit, humour and point, may justly be characterised as epoch-making, won for him universal esteem and influence among his contemporaries of all classes, and still rank among the classics of German literature. As a hymnwriter he also marks an epoch; and while in the revival of churchly feeling the hymns of the Rationalistic period of 1760 to 1820 have been ignored by many recent compilers, yet the greatest admirers of the old standard hymns have been fain to stretch their area of selection from Luther to Gellert. He prepared himself by prayer for their composition, and selected the moments when his mental horizon was most unclouded. He was distinguished by deep and sincere piety, blameless life, and regularity in attendance on the services of the Church. His hymns are the utterances of a sincere Christian morality, not very elevated or enthusiastic, but genuine expressions of his own feelings and experiences; and what in them he preached he also put in practice in his daily life. Many are too didactic in tone, reading like versifications of portions of his lectures on morals, and are only suited for private use. But in regard to his best hymns, it may safely be said that their rational piety and good taste, combined with a certain earnestness and pathos, entitle them to a place among the classics of German hymnody. They exactly met the requirements of the time, won universal admiration, and speedily passed into the hymnbooks in use over all Germany, Roman Catholic as well as Lutheran. Two of Gellert's hymns are noted under their own first lines, viz., "Jesus lebt, mit ihm auch ich," and "Wie gross ist des All-mächtgen Güte." The following have also passed into English, almost all being taken from his Geistliche Oden und Lieder, a collection of 54 hymns first published at Leipzig, 1757, and which has passed through very numerous editions:— I. Hymns in English common use: i. An dir allein, an dir hab ich gesündigt. Lent. 1757, p. 102, in 6 stanzas of 4 lines, entitled "Hymn of Penitence."
